The Pretty Little Liars star opened up about her character’s sexuality on Bethenny today (March 14), and she admitted that when it comes to acting, she’d rather kiss a girl!

“Emily is quite the player on the show so it's always fun,” she told Bethenny. “But no, it's great. I don't really think about it too much. Everyone's like how does it feel to kiss another girl? I'm like it feels normal, it's fine, yeah. Sometimes I’d rather kiss another girl than I would some random guy I don't know. They smell pretty, they have cute lip balm on.”

Last April, Shay told Teen Vogueshe “didn’t think twice” about auditioning for the role. “I have a lot of friends who are gay; my aunt had a girlfriend. It's just normal,” said Shay. “And the way that fans have reacted [to my portrayal of Emily] has been amazing: I'm not playing the gothic chick dressed in all black who eats lunch in the corner and is a lesbian. If you look at the poster, you wouldn't necessarily be able to pinpoint which one of us is the lesbian, and that was really important to me.”

We couldn’t agree more, Shay! It’s one of the many reasons we love Pretty Little Liars. Watch Shay's interview below.
